Raphinha, a door ajar and conditioned

Raphael Dias Belloli’raphinha’, is happy in Barcelona. He has landed well in the dressing room, he is adapting well and he is happy with the city. The club is satisfied with his performance. However, Barcelona is aware that it needs to multiply revenues, reduce labor costs and solve its financial “fair play”. Sign brokers for free to avoid having to pay a transfer and, above all, sell very well to collect. And that’s where Raphinha’s card comes into play. The Brazilian, like other first-team players, it is not non-transferable. As GOAL has learned, if a good offer comes in raphinha, Barça will be willing to listen and study it. If we don’t, given the financial difficulties the club is going through, it would be an exercise in irresponsibility. From Barça they insist that they are satisfied with the Brazilian and all They would only consider his departure if an offer came in very favorable terms for the club.

It should be remembered, as GOAL has already progressed, that last summer Barça paid Leeds United the amount of 58 million fixed plus another 7 in bonuses (4 of easy observance and the other 3, hard to collect for the English) as a transfer. The Barça club signed him to a contract for five seasons, with a salary of 6 million net per year (12 gross), which would result in a final fee of 60 “kilo” if he fully fulfills his contract in Barcelona. That is, the annual cost of Raphinha, It means about 23 million for Barça (11.6 million a year for transfers plus another 12 gross salary).

That is, from July 1 raphinha would still have a four-year contract with Barça, which would still have 46 million awaiting write-off of the signature, outside the player’s file. For that reason, Barça will only study a possible departure for the Brazilian if a bid is received that is higher than the 80 million euros. With that money he would obtain a surplus value for his transfer.

In a market clearly in recession, except in the Premier, only the English could handle an operation of this magnitude. Rapinha They have an excellent poster in the Premier League, they’ve made their mark at Leeds and the English route is a real alternative. In fact, it is already linked to the Chelsea, who had agreed to his signing last summer. At the last minute, the millionaire Todd Boehley he saw how the player rejected the offer of the “blues” and signed for the Catalan team. That has not been forgotten in London, where the player is still loved. There are still three months until the end of the course and the summer will be long. At Barça, they remain calm and repeat the message, both privately and publicly. are happy with it raphinha and don’t think about selling it. Of course it is a conditional decision. If there is an offer of around 80 million euros this summer, the door, which is now ajar, will open.
